I finished spinning the East Friesien Wool yesterday.
I dyed it yesterday too.
Then last night I knitted it up into two bags.
I didn't get much sleep, bub thought it a good idea to warm me up for labour and twinged me all night. To keep my mind off how uncomfortable I was, I sat and knitted.
Today the bags got thrown into the washing machine in hot water and soap.
Three cycles later and the bags were felted nicely.
I'm rather happy with them.
The little bag I improvised the pattern for.
The buttons are vintage ones I bought from the op-shop.
The big bag is from a free pattern.

I love this bag!
Knitted up on large needles 6.5mm the bags were very quick to knit. Just one night of pre-labour.
I have something to show for my labours!

Oh I love the felted look Tracy, gorgeous! Pre-labour oh my :-)
Thinking of you and bub.
Goodness me, you're a clever lady! It must be so satisfying to make something from start to finish like these. They look terrific!
Looks great Tracy. I hope it kept your mind off the twinges.
I love the colours too - I wondered how well it would felt but it looks lovely and even
Merry Christmas to you and your family.
